Program Information

Madera School provides an exemplary elementary program for its students. Our school was awarded a “Program of Excellence” citation from the Contra Costa County Association of School Administrators. Many of our staff members serve as mentor teachers in the WCCUSD. Graduate degrees are held by 15 percent of the staff.

Madera is proud to have placed in the top two schools in WCCUSD in total reading, math, language arts and spelling scores for standardized testing. Our API score was 906, and we received accolades as one of the top elementary schools in the State of California. We have also received the Governor’s reading award four times.
